Left testicular pain is caused by inflammation or other factors. If the pain is due to orchitis, it is primarily treated with medication, commonly including Xihuang capsules, Qianliexin capsules, and similar drugs. If the testicular pain follows a history of trauma, one should be cautious about possible soft tissue contusions in the testicle. In addition, there are many causes of testicular pain, with bacterial infection being the primary cause.
